Human Rights Community Calls on Congress to Lift the Ban on Travel to Cuba

Last week you may have seen the letter from members of the Cuban dissident community calling on Congress to change its policy toward Cuba and support HR 4645, the Trade Restriction Reform & Export Enhancement Act. Today representatives of the human rights, religious, and humanitarian communities in the United States are echoing that call in their own letter. The 42 signatories, including the National Council of Churches, the National Lawyers Guild, and Witness for Peace, join a long list of other leading organizations already supporting the new Cuba legislation.
